This briefing illustrates how HFC-23 projects under the CDM are working directly against the objectives of the UNFCCC and the Montreal Protocol, which is working to phase out HCFCs.

Setting the demand for the majority of CDM credits on a global scale, the EU has an important role to play in ensuring that HFC-23 credits will be excluded from the EU ETS.
